Unity reviews about "ceo"

I cant think of anything

-CEO and CFO insist on being based in New York, when the Company is based in SF. Earnings calls are at 5:30am because screw you West Coast. -CFO will stop at nothing until all the G&A, Accounting, Tax, and, Finance team members are located in Bangalore in an effort to cut costs. Offshoring is massive here and will only continue to expand. -Constant anxiety about layoffs. Sometimes they announce mass layoffs, but more often do it in smaller waves so as to not rattle the cage. -Top heavy org structure. There's probably as many or more SVP, VPs, Sr. Dir level folks as there are individual contributors/leads.

work life balance can be improved

In Ads in particular, all management and "decision making" now takes place in SF (copy/paste from Applovin), meaning that there are virtually no managers elsewhere, and everyone else is considered "unskilled labor" (literally the words of top managers). A LOT of public and internal overpromises about deliverables in projects that are not actually performing or even exist. Zero-sum mentality. Most chat channels are private and inaccessible to anyone not personally invited by certain managers. Think compartmentalization and "need to know" policies. Average overall compensation, considering stock as a part. It may be actually OK in smaller countries (compared to the local market) and considering stock refreshers, but you are still heavily dependent on stock performance. Expect 0-5% increase at best without promo. You can EASILY get 0% even if you are the smartest guy in the room. Delusional, out of touch senior management with no competence. It is a SF company, so everyone is a VP or Principal without any decent experience or unique knowledge. Super strange and unstable org chart. They "flatten" or restructure it every few months, managers change back and forth, people moved from project to project and backwards. No product vision for the last few years. Instead, they even killed all promising remaining initiatives (to "refocus"). Year after year, they continue to promise more data and ML will solve all the problems. Layoffs every few months to compensate for their own failures and lack of vision. Recently, they even decided to tear apart the entire office just because one executive received a fierce feedback of his plans. Since then, every time they open their mouth, you always hear: "You didn't believe in me, and now you shall see my success." Disgusting and inhumane. Friends promote friends and loyal people. Forget about working smarter and getting promoted for accomplishments. For reference, there are Staff engineers who struggle with git and have never had a github account. Super overpaid CEO for deliveries. 50M???

- management was very turbulent with CEO stepping down during runtime fee fiasco

Management changes their goals all the time The New CEO took the company in the wrong direction. Again.

In this transition phase, sales teams have fewer new offerings to present to clients, yet annual targets continue to rise. This creates a widening gap between available resources and expectations.

- Company is going through a reset. Lots of layoffs and cost cutting including benefits - Teams working in silo. No communication chains whatsoever for relevant stakeholders

Within about past 4-5 years a sequence of poor decisions were made, some were just mistakes in market assessment, some in chase for money to increase business runway within downtrending economic context, and some straight away to for personal benefits of certain leaders. This resulted in scandals, loss of reputation, huge discount in stock price, high talent attrition, annual reduction in forces followed by reorganization, and welcoming of new management bringing Amazon culture and work style which destroyed employee wellbeing. Change of CEO while improved overall situation, but not significantly. In my opinion, the best decisions were made by new CEO were to revert poor decisions of the previous management. Otherwise I can't say that so much needed improvements in vision, culture, employee well-being had taken steps towards what it user to be back in 2019.
